Click on any wallpaper card. You can watch a live video preview of the loop to ensure it's high quality before you download.

Our Windows app is designed to be lightweight, pausing automatically when you play games so it never affects your FPS.
Open the app and click the "Library" tab. Click the big Add Wallpaper button and select the video file you downloaded from our website.
When you click "Play", a menu appears. You can choose "Per Display" to set different wallpapers on each screen, or "Set on All" to sync them.
Click the Wand Icon on any wallpaper card. You can adjust speed, brightness, contrast, and hue, or mute the audio if the wallpaper has sound.
Go to the Settings tab inside the app. Ensure "Low Resource Mode" is enabled if you have an older PC. Also, verify that animations are set to pause when other apps are fullscreen.
If your wallpaper is just a black screen, it's usually a video codec issue on Windows.
Take your setup mobile. Our Android app is battery-efficient and supports the same high-quality video files as the PC version.
Download the wallpaper directly on your phone from our site, or transfer the video file from your PC to your phone's gallery.
Open the app and tap the green "CHOOSE VIDEO FROM PHONE" button. Select the .mp4 file you just downloaded.
Tap "Set as Live Wallpaper". You can choose to apply it to just the Home Screen or both Home & Lock Screens.
In the Android app settings (Gear icon), enable "Pause on Battery Saver". This stops the animation when your phone is low on battery to save juice. You can also enable "Double-tap to pause" to quickly freeze the wallpaper.
